Using Genomic Data to Infer Evolutionary Processes in the Asexual Parasitoid Microctonus aethiopoides [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionBiological control offers a sustainable alternative to pesticides, with asexual parasitoids favoured for their ability to reproduce without males and produce all‐female offspring.

Absence of complementary sex determination in twoLeptopilinaspecies (Figitidae, Hymenoptera) and a reconsideration of its incompatibility with endosymbiont‐induced thelytoky [PDF]
Insect Science, 2022 Complementary sex determination (CSD) is a widespread sex determination mechanism in haplodiploid Hymenoptera. Under CSD, sex is determined by the allelic state of one or multiple CSD loci.

Diploid males support a two-step mechanism of endosymbiont-induced thelytoky in a parasitoid wasp [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2015 Haplodiploidy, where females develop from diploid, fertilized eggs and males from haploid, unfertilized eggs, is abundant in some insect lineages. Some species in these lineages reproduce by thelytoky that is caused by infection with endosymbionts: infected females lay haploid eggs that undergo diploidization and develop into females, while males are ...

Control of reproductive dominance by thethelytokygene in honeybees [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2007 Differentiation into castes and reproductive division of labour are a characteristics of eusocial insects. Caste determination occurs at an early stage of larval development in social bees and is achieved via differential nutrition irrespective of the genotype.

Genetic evidence for parthenogenesis in the small carpenter bee Ceratina dallatoreana (Apidae, Ceratinini) in its native distribution range [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2023 Arrhenotoky is the typical mode of reproduction in Hymenoptera. Diploid females develop from fertilized eggs, whereas haploid males originate from unfertilized eggs.

Thelytoky in Hymenoptera with Venturia canescens and Leptopilina clavipes as Case Studies
, 2009 The insect order of Hymenoptera comprises around 200.000 described species of ants, bees, wasps and sawflies, many of which serve important ecological and economic functions. All Hymenoptera have a haplodiploid mode of reproduction. Males always develop from unfertilized eggs and are haploid.

Decay of homologous chromosome pairs and discovery of males in the thelytokous fungus-growing ant Mycocepurus smithii [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 The prevalent mode of reproduction among ants is arrhenotokous parthenogenesis where unfertilized eggs give rise to haploid males and fertilized eggs develop into diploid females.
